Very cool! Can't wait to see a pic of it set up. Wondering how may folks will hit the music video link? That's one thing that doesn't even show up in black the way my desktop is set up. Think of it as Watchmen having been set a few years earlier in time. edit: too bad your model hasn't got...

Paint it Black to match the peripherals.:cool: /Rolling Stones

Wow, just wow! Nice work you did there.

Very nice and period correct indeed. Nice touch that you can easily remove the antenna, conserving portability. Can't think of the name offhand, but IIRC the French had a wireless system and PowerBook 1xx series had electronics in FDD cubic with the same antenna setup? Now inspired to do...

Cool, somebody else has a Visor! Got mine new in the day. With EyeModule in its expansion slot, it was my first digital camera.

Ordered a new multimeter that should tell me the difference between full continuity and weaker states. Meanwhile, I cleaned up the sticker residue on the solder side with alcohol and discovered that a liquid emulsion gives better definition to the subterranean net. Can you crop, clean up and...

Still waiting for parts, so took a look at the BigROM Bus removal campaign. 1) can you identify what ROM packages fits and find a pinout link for me to run down? 2) figured I’d check traces that may or may not be necessary to keep. 1) Which ROM fits the footprint I measured U25 and U26 in...

Belay my last! I just knew it had to be more complicated than that, So much for a Wikipedia(ick) inspired rabbit hole. @Tashtari has been working on it already! https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/cloning-the-iwm-sort-of.49939/post-563733 /Tangent

Found it! Mini-ITX sized Macintosh Plus https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/itxplus-a-itx-sized-macintosh-plus-logicboard-reproduction.4302/#post-37135 IWM Clone needed. ;) edit: 128K in SE/PDS form factor and SE/30 chassis for vertical accelerator/expansion card prototype playtime sounds...

May be a tangential rabbit hole, consider the source, Wikipedia(ick) says IWM is a condensed version of D][IC. So wondering cloning IWM from that info might make an all new, off the shelf clone possible with no Apple sourced IC? https://dmcmillan.co.uk/blog/dumping-6309-proms...

I don't know about replacing the front bezel, but it's not necessary and probably wouldn't have been included in an Apple upgrade kit. If it's a late SE, it might very well have the slotted chassis of the SE/30 for its vertical 030 PDS Card setup. But that's the part that would very likely have...

YOWCH! It looks like whatever kinda cage rattling around loose in there was for a 3.5" drive and kept caged under the peripherals tray by its supports? The cards look to be in great shape and an interesting lot, especially if you're into music. Welcome from a fellow forum dweller! Sometimes I...

Cool, you were doing exactly the same thing my son was doing in that time frame and your son is doing the same forty years later. Not today exactly, but it was about 1:00AM today until I finished up with the speaker extension. I got the SE/RadiusFPD/MagicBus put together and tested it to the...

IIRC there's a way around IWM for startup w/o FDD access in POST?

Interesting notion. You can make it with almost all off the shelf components?
